Perfect spot during events.We have booked this place a couple of times now and continue to be happy with our investment. The only qualms were that the washer/dryer is a little small for 6 people and being that close to city center comes with some additional noise. Would highly recommend!

Perfect Spring Break

We absolutely loved Above the Crowd! It is in the perfect location to everything! Thankful for parking spots and being so close to the beach! The condo was beautifully decorated and felt so homey! We played their games and watched basketball in the family room. Loved having the outside deck to drink our coffee in the mornings and watch Seaside waking up! So many personal touches and we hopefully will be back! Thank you Above the Crowd!

Introducing my cousin to Seaside disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property presented as a two bedroom was misleading. I slept on a bunk, with my clothes outside in the bedroom. 43 gusty degrees was not an option for use of the bedroom in a separate building from the bathroom - not a luxury experience. Thermostat settings to drop 5 degrees in the night with no directions also made half the trip frigid. It's a lovely place in a great location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is perfectly situated overlooking the square. We did not have to drive the entire trip! It is not loud at all, which we were worried about! The furnishings were well appointed and all very comfy! Can’t wait to book again! Minor issues was the stove was broken and the outdoor spa was kinda yuck- but it is outside so- no negative on our stay!

Above seaside

Property was great. Everything was easy. I reports a window screen falling from third floor onto my car and leaving damage. I also reported other screens were about to fall. When I left, no repairs had been done to other screens and I guess nothing to be done regarding damage to my car. This was in the provided parking spot.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Couldn’t have asked for a better location! Cottage was very clean, beautifully decorated and absolutely perfect! I had heard bad things about the parking but we didn’t have any trouble at all. Only thing was elevator. It’s very very old and only worked part of the time we were there. Being on third floor made that a little inconvenient especially while we were loading up to leave and having to drag everything down three flights of stairs. Other than that, it was great! Would definitely go back!

Moved and Forgotten

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First we were moved out of our original/preferred rental because of some mixup by the leasing company, not of our own doing, and when Delta canceled our cross-country flight for two days we weren't able to get ahold of an agent to help re-list the unit, or make any other arrangements, so we paid full price for two unused nights. Seaside obviously isn't hurting for money, so it all just felt unnecessarily punitive. When you pay as much in resort fees and other add-ons as you do for the unit itself you expect amazing service and facilities, but the agents were hard to reach and often disinterested/unhelpful. The bike attendants were rude and the bikes themselves were in poor condition and not very good bikes to begin with. There were lots of security agents walking around, but apparently not any on duty at 2.00am our first night when we were awoken to a group of teenagers running and yelling through the square. This group managed to through a popsicle that hit our bedroom window and melted on the deck below. Just a sad experience all around that was meant to be a fun birthday celebration.Beach and restaurants were great, but the rest of the experience was disappointing given the costs and certainly not the experience we've come to expect as visitors for over 20 years. We will be looking elsewhere for our next beach vacation.

Beautiful place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First look when you walk in is beautiful! Everything was very clean, and beautifully decorated. This was a short visit to seaside I will say everything was very convenient from where this Condo is. I woke up on Easter Sunday early morning hours to the most beautiful a cappella group singing God’s glory. I have a few things that I think should be worked on are electrical outlets, had to maneuver the plug for the hairdryer to be out a bit for the hairdryer to work .. closet space for guest, there isn’t any for guest outside of the master bedroom . Don’t care for the second bedroom outside of the rest of the residence, and it was freezing cold in there. The only reason why I would say that I wouldn’t come back to this location is because for two adult women we’re not comfortable. second bedroom being outside of the rest of the residence. If you have your spouse and children can sleep on the bunkbeds then you’re fine. But definitely they need to work on the electrical outlets.

Updated description needed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall nice stay. Two major disclosures needed though. 1) You have to walk outside to get from the second bedroom to the bathroom and there is no overhead cover. If it’s raining, you need an umbrella. 2) The outside tub described on the website is no longer there. We would not have booked this unit if we knew. However, the on-site person was very helpful and responsive.

Spring Break in Seaside

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and location were great! The property management company was very responsive. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the property's general condition is that the reserved parking spaces were often full, and the WiFi was slow. I had to go downstairs to the coffee shop when I need to work.
